"Well, it was fun with the army, too. I worked for a year before the war as a teacher of those vocational subjects, so I taught chemistry, physics, materials and technology at that school. And when I was supposed to continue after the holidays, I only taught that next September and on the first of October I had to enlist in Mikulov, just to do basic military service, that's what it was called then. And it was at that time, it was in '62, actually, that's when the so-called Cuban events came or happened, it's called today. It means that when we were like the recruits in the first month in the army, at the same time there were guys in the barracks with us who actually had to serve a third year. So there were three years of soldiers in the barracks."
